I'm sorry, but dietary cholesterol has virtually no affect on the bodies cholesterol levels, and modern science supports this. Like most (mis)information, this "dietary cholesterol bad" myth was probably instituted by a study sponsored by the cereal/grain companies or something back in the 70's or 80's. Just like the whole "fat is bad" fad that took off during the 80's when low/no-fat everything came out. What happened next? Add in the processed fructose (corn syrup). Why corn syrup? Because corn is/was subsidized the US Govt (our tax dollars) and they put a tariff on imported sugar cane, making corn syrup the de'facto sweetener in American processed food. And why did that "fat is bad" thing take off? Because companies used the absolute cheapest forms of fat (hydrogenated vegetable oils). And what's cheaper than hydrogenated fats and that can be flown into foods under the radar? Processed fructose.

The way you phrased your question ("your" dark chocolate), it sounds like you are asking the manufacturer. I recommend you contact http://us.greenandblacks.com/ to ask them about the different sugar content in their 85% cacao bars.

I wish to avoid powdered milk products after what I read in _Real Food: What to Eat and Why_ by Nina Planck. She explains that dried milk is one of the biggest contributors of bad cholesterol in our diets, because of the oxidation of the fats. Anyone figure anything else out about the pectin?

The box shows a statement saying there is 50 per cent cocoa solids in the dark chocolate along with the other ingredients. I'm not sure if this is the info you are looking for, but I can tell you this is the 4th year in a row I have purchased this item. Go for it!

No worries there buddy. It's just like going to the store and buying a bag of chips, it's always half way filled. It's just the way these supplements are made, all of them form pills down to protein supplements. You should be looking at about 31.2oz at about 885g about a net way of 1.95lbs. It's more then enough to last you a month depending on your goals and how many grams of protien you are intaking daily per pound of body weight. And for the price your paying for, you can't beat it :) Your Good, no need to contact them.

I love anything chocolate, but bought my first case in vanilla, and was not at all disappointed ... tastes great, and I use it in oatmeal, and any other cereal, also I will the chocolate soon. BWT I'm type 2 diabetic, and so far have no ill side affects probably because only 1 gram sugar.

Sorry, don't know. I have been using it for years, instead of perscriptions for lowering cholesterol, with success.

What I am trying to ask is whether it is healthy enough to consume a product which has 10% cholesterol 4-5 times a week?

I guess that would be a matter of personal taste. I'm a chocolate lover, but prefer the vanilla Whey Isolate. It also depends on how you plan to drink it. I make a smoothie; blending 8 oz. natural yogurt, 1 banana (or equivilant amount melon), 2 TBSP peanut butter, 2 TBSP wheat germ, 1 TBSP honey, and 2 scoops Whey Isolate - within 30 minutes of my workout. (I work out 3 days a week.) On off days I blend only the yogurt, wheat germ and 1 scoop Isolate. In an emergency, the vanilla ain't too bad mixed with cold water.

The 2 pound container says 28 servings. I've never actually scooped it all out at once to see, but I would bet it's about correct. I love this product and feel it is a good quality. I like the vanilla and the chocolate.

My vanilla almond has 2g if fat and 60mg cholesterol in one serving with water. I say creamy because it does already contain milk, so it isn't watery or chalky like other brands.

The chocolate is 160 calories per scoop if using water. If using milk you need to add the calories from the milk with the pure protein. Make sure you have a shaker when using this product. I use this product after a long run and it keeps me full afterwards.

None, this is a vegan product. Cholesterol only occurs in animal foods and this is a plant based protein.

YES, and that is very high. I get it at our local supermarket for 2 for $5.00 on sale; however, it's rarely over that anyway - there. I cannot figure out why it's over $3.80/bottle purchasing in quantity from Amazon, yet less in a regular supermarket - their variety, contents, label wrap, et al are identical, and so is the product. My doctor definitely favors this product, and doubled my daily intake to 2 bottles because my protein levels are low (I'm on chemotherapy). This is not worth the high corst. Take a vitamin pill (1/2 twice a day), and mix 1 C non-fat dry milk with 1 C of regular milk (not low fat, now 2%, etc), add your own flavoring and ya'got it, except that amounts to about 100 GM of protein.
